The deadline for objections to the proposed Closure of Culverhay School is 5pm on 27th January. Objections should be sent to:
Cllr Will Sandry has sent the following objection:
I object to the closure of Culverhay School unless a non denominational co-educational school opens in its place at the site.
The community have for many years wanted a non-denominational Co-educational school at the site and it is one that can serve many in the South of Bath.
I am not convinced by the arguments that have been presented as to why Culverhay should close. Closure will mean more cross Bath journeys by pedestrians, but also more importantly by buses and cars.
The closure will cost many in my community money as they have to find more money for travel and uniforms.
The existing Culverhay School is a wonderful community asset. It understands our community and gets the best out of its pupils. It also and has the best campus of all the schools in Bath. It would be a travesty for it to close.

Councillor for Oldfield Ward
